Residents of Crosby needing a cardiologist, an urologist, an obstetrician, a gynecologist or an internal medicine specialist can look no further than the Crosby Multi-Specialty Clinic and Health Education Center.

"We've seen quite a few patients already," said Dr. Roger Le, the center's urologist. "It's important to make people aware that we offer specialty services right here in their own neighborhood."

The center is an offshoot of the East Houston Regional Medical Center (EHRMC) in the North Channel area.

"We want to serve the Crosby, Dayton, Huffman, Highlands and Liberty areas," said Annette Forbes, EHRMC marketing and business development manager. "In addition to its specialty medical care, the center has an education center, where people can attend seminars on health issues."

"We realize Crosby is a growing area," said Jessurun. "And we are interested in providing quality care to the people of Crosby."

Dr. Dan Yancy, a Liberty/Dayton City Hospital administrator, said they are already referring patients to the center.

The center hosted an open house Aug. 31 to show the community what it has to offer. Many community residents attended, meeting the doctors, touring the facility, sharing refreshments and participating in a door prize drawing for a barbeque set.

More information about the center is available by calling 713-393-2501 or Marisa Flanagan of the Crosby/Huffman Chamber at 281-328-6984.
